IMSA IMSA 2024

[Gerard C]

Another Porsche out?

[Adam43]

LMP2 action. Jensen on it. Di Resta not!

And LMP2 getting in on the recent trend of sending a car back out to have more problems and get in the way. United 14 laps down and still having problems with #2.

Did NASCHIMPSA stretch last yellow to help out BMW?

[Adam43]

Rexy still doing well, but I am annoyed by the dominance of GTDPRO - top 10 in GT. Best GTD one lap down.

No.

Jeepers, there is 30 minutes left in a 6 hour race and IMSA plays a segment describing multiclass racing and explaining the classes. What are you doing?

[Adam43]

#75 loses it while trying to be nice to #40 coming through...

[Adam43]

ALMS leftover. Used to drive me bonkers watching on TV. They used to say "European style multi-class racing" 6-10 times/hour.

Might be harsh?

Di Resta got his mad up:

Yeah, he was unlucky, but hey I'm not surprised. Play nice keep away from other cars.

Eastwood #8 LMP2 got spooked and drove into a GT on the straight!

[Adam43]

One of the LED strips around the kidney grills on the BMW are out on the leader. The BMWs should be penalised for this.

[Adam43]

#23 tries something on the #14, but locks Gunn locks up and loses the place he gained against Garcia #3.

This battle heats up.

Gunn needs these points. Heinrich is about to win...

[belt driven]

Good job, RLL!

[Adam43]

Well done BMW.

[belt driven]

I want to see interview with Nasr..., it he's upright.

One of the rear lights was out as well. They must have redirected the energy from the lights to the power unit to make it to the end.

[tomcug]

Bimmer on top, this time a proper win as last time they won after Porsche failed the post-race tech inspection. RLL finally delivered and a very good race overall.

Winner #24 BMW M Team RLL, 219 laps

So P1 and P3 are due to undergo an extended inspection but P2 not. So here comes the conspiracy theory - IMSA want to fix the race for Bimmer! If the winning car fails the check, Bimmer still wins as the 25 can't fail it since they won't inspect that one
This just a joke ofc

[Adam43]

The seven cars: No. 24, No. 6, No. 85, No. 40, No. 5, No. 01 and No. 63

BMW, Penske Porsche, JDC-Miller Porsche, Acura, Proton Porsche, Cadillac, Lamborghini.

The top finisher of each team.

I caught 85-90% of the race. Felt like a fun afternoon.
